Sigi Schmid on Sounders FC schedule

This just in from the team…
“Sometimes you have some rough patches and you have patches that you are happy with in terms of your time between games. Obviously playing away at Dallas on a Thursday and away at Toronto that next Sunday is a tough stretch. We’ll have some tough stretches of games to qualify for the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League together with our regular season games. What’s nice about it is we now have 16 teams, so there is no unbalance in our schedule.”
No news yet on when single game tickets go on sale and who will play in the friendlies.
The club has been talking to a number of teams but this being a World Cup year makes scheduling more difficult.
